15-461. Transporting school districts; joining existing school districts (L10, Ch. 318, sec. 6. Eff. 7/1/11) A. If a school district does not offer a full-time instructional program in any grade level to the pupils who reside in that school district, transports all of the pupils who reside in that school district to an adjacent school district or school districts for instruction and transports more than three hundred fifty pupils annually to an adjacent school district or school districts, the county school superintendent shall dissolve the transporting school district and annex the geographic boundaries of the transporting school district to the adjacent school district that provides instruction to the majority of the pupils who reside in the transporting school district. B. The county school superintendent shall make the record of boundaries conform to the annexation and shall notify the board of supervisors and the county assessor of the boundary change. The change is effective immediately on notification from the county school superintendent. C. The terms of the governing board members of the previously existing transporting school district do not expire on the effective date of the dissolution of the school district and continue until January 1 following the next general election, during which time the members of the governing board of the previously existing transporting school district shall serve as additional members of the governing board of the adjacent school district. D. The adjacent school district shall revise its annual budget to reflect the annexation of the transporting school district. E. The adjacent school district is liable for all indebtedness and liabilities, bonded or otherwise, outstanding against the dissolved transporting school district, and all property, balances and deficits of the dissolved transporting school district become the property, balances and deficits of the adjacent school district. |
